The Kansas City Chiefs made it official Saturday, moving wide receiver Dwayne Bowe to season-ending injured reserve.
Bowe broke ribs after being accidentally kicked at the conclusion of a play in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns. He finishes the season with 59 receptions for 801 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games this season.
Lombardi: Don't expand playoffs

In a corresponding move, the Chiefs promoted guard Rich Ranglin from the practice squad.
Bowe is unlikely to hit the jackpot in free agency, but he's sure to attract interest from teams in need of a playmaker on the outside. When healthy and surrounded by the right cast, Bowe can be a star. He proved it in 2010, when he led the NFL with 15 touchdown receptions.
He's had just eight in the two seasons that followed. A change in scenery might not be a bad thing.
